I should tell you about last year's experience with our Christmas photo cards from Shutterfly first... I was thrilled with the quality of the cards I received, BUT somehow in the production process, the right side of the card got cut off a little more than what was shown in the preview I saw when I made the cards. Do you see the top picture of preggo me and the tree? The little openings behind my lower back and behind my legs were cropped off on the cards I received. No big deal, right? Well, I think it had the effect of adding about ten extra pounds to my already expanding figure, and I was not happy about it. I emailed Shutterfly, and all it took was me sending them a photo of the cards I received, and a new set of cards was overnighted to me! I was really impressed with their attention to detail, even though it was a detail that would have probably only been noticed by a crazy preggo. Thanks, Shutterfly :)
I have a feeling this year's card is going to show a whole lot more baby and a whole lot less parents and dog. C'est la vie. Here are some of the designs I'm loving... not that I'm organized enough to have chosen a picture yet. We'll try to take one that has everyone looking at the camera and smiling, but if we wanted to get a little more real, one of the following would probably represent our first year as a family of three a little bit better.
First up, Sparkle Joy:
Next, we have Merry Bright:
Or we could just go for a simple Ho, Ho, Ho.
Or maybe What Fun?
Which one would you choose?

Ha. These are hilarious! So funny!
ReplyDeleteI like Joy the best, Finn is just too cute!
These are some of the ones I have narrowed our options down to too... you will have to let me know which you choose so we don't send the same ones!
ReplyDeleteI can tell you had fun with these! So cute. I'd pick #1 - Sparkle Joy!
ReplyDeleteHaha, so fun! I love that you had a laugh with these, especially since I'm sure we will see a ton of shutterfly posts from other bloggers. The ho, ho, ho one might be easiest to fit a pic of Finn, Duncan, and a family pic!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I love the Oh What Fun one! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the Merry & Bright one!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I like the first, second and fourth ones. Does that narrow it down for you? ;)

ReplyDeleteThey are all great, but I love the first one with "Joy" or the last one if you took the pick with Finn too.
ReplyDeleteI vote for JOY!
ReplyDeleteHa, these are a riot! I have to cast my vote for the Ho Ho Ho though! Baby bottoms... can't resist...
ReplyDeleteI vote Sparkle Joy, nothing against you and Mr. O but Finn is the cutest and deserves the most attention this year.
